Yellowstone Visitor Center Achieves LEED Gold Certification

Yellowstone National Park was the United States' first national park, and now it is one of the only parks to have a LEED Gold certified building. The Visitor Education Center at Old Faithful opened last week to crowds of visitors looking for more information on the amazing features and wonders of Yellowstone National Park. Designed to reflect the traditional NPS architecture, the state-of-the-art visitor center is also green to the core and features energy efficient design and eco-friendly materials.

From the outside the geyser is reflected in the windows of the center.




The state-of-the-art facility includes a bookstore, a gift shop, a theater for introductory films, a research area and a 4,500-square-foot exhibition space.
